Gordon’s hand’s better now but unfortunately the batteries on the boat are knackered and we’re having to replace the lot. There are far worse places to be stuck though – shops, a decent pub and great weather make it quite bearable. This morning I spotted a couple of baby swallows being fed periodically by their parents – I spent ages watching them and even managed to get a quick photo. Unfortunately I didn’t manage to take a photo of the rather large adder that we saw swimming across the canal yesterday – definitely puts you off going for a swim even without the potential of Weil’s Disease.
